General Convention, 2009

This page is a collections of links to several Web resources about the 2009 General Convention, which will be July 8th to 17th in Anaheim, California. There will be vast and detailed web coverage of the Convention. Because of that, this page will not be as extensive as it was three years ago. Fortunately, that isn't necessary this time. I will try to focus on collections of links to Convention or to commentaries on Convention. These pages should be up and available for some time after Convention is over.

Specific stuff from our Diocese includes:

• How We See It-Reflections from our Bishop and Deputies at General Convention.
• Snapshots--Photos by and of our Delegation at General Convention in Anaheim
   

Information about General Convention Includes:

• The General Convention Office of the National Episcopal Church. The site has a bunch of good information on it.
• The Executive Offices of the General Convention has some general information.
• The "Blue Book", of Reports and Resolutions to Convention, prepared several months before Convention, is on line, both in whole and in part. 
• Episcopal Life has put together an interesting netbook of its The Guide to the 76th General Convention.
• The best place for links to current events is the General Convention Media Hub.

Frequent or Daily reports on the doings of Convention includes:

• Episcopal Life, the magazine of the Church, has a section on General Convention that will be updated very regularly.
• Louie Crew's General Convention Pages.  Louie is a bit of a character and has a perspective, but he also offers some of the most informative Web pages in the Church. This always in process yet comprehensive General Convention page is well worth a careful look.
• Anglicans On Line always has a interesting perspective and solid news.
• Other sources of Daily News from General Convention

After Convention includes Summaries and Reflections include:

• The Daily Wrap, a handy, day-by-Day overview of Convention, including several very helpful links.
• Most of the Daily News sources also include summaries and reflections.

I would like to add a word a thanks to the many Deputies from around the Church who, through the House of Bishops/Deputies Listserv offered several very helpful suggestions that were incorporated into this list. Any errors of fact or judgment are, or course, my own.  Jim Liggett, Webminister, nwt.org.
